Peer Review Process
All research articles submitted to ARETE: Advances in Research, Education, Technology, and Experimentation undergo a rigorous and objective peer-review process. The key characteristics of our review process include:
- Initial Screening: The Editor-in-Chief evaluates all submissions to ensure they meet the journal's focus, scope, and basic quality standards.
- Double-Blind Peer Review: Submissions that pass the initial screening are sent to at least two independent expert reviewers. Both the reviewers' and authors' identities remain anonymous to each other to ensure fairness and objectivity.
- Review Timeline: The standard review process takes approximately 4 to 8 weeks.
- Final Decision: Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the editorial board makes the final decision to accept, require revisions, or reject the manuscript.
The journal strictly follows the ethical guidelines provided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
